Haunting Ground; so underrated

graphics: 8
replay: 7
gameplay: 9
sound: 8
fun factor: 9
difficulty: 7
value: 8
story: 8

overall score: 8

graphics: the graphics are perfect for a survival horror setting. the lighting is beautiful and the placement o fshadows are expertly done. ull get the spooky feeling the whole time throughout this game.

replay: i havent beaten this as i only rented it but seeing how much fun i had in my first 2 hours id say it has plenty of replays. this game also has alternate costumes you can unlock for your character. alternate costumes are always a good motivation for replay

gameplay: its survival horror and the gameplay suits it. you cannot attack like you can in silent hill or resident evil, but you are a frail girl after all. you can send your dog to attack or you can find items to throw. you can also tackle (not very effective) or punt enemies to give you enough time to run. also if you run for too long the character runs out of stamina and will start to jog slowly or walk. not being able to run the whole time makes the gameplay a semi slow but ultimately enjoyable experience.

sound: most survival horror games have beautiful sound and this is reflected in this game. the sounds are spooky and will get louder as you approach enemies. youll use sound for your survival in this game.

fun factor: this game is VERY VERY FUN. i usually dont like slow game, but this game justed wowed me. usually when i rent games i turn it on for 10 minutes to see if its good or not. this game had me playing for a good 2 hours.

difficulty: not too difficult. mostly you just run away but the fun in this game comes frome xploring.

story: story is interesting and will keep you on your toes from the start. youll immediately start asking who is that? and what is going on?

value: i personally am gonna wait until it drops to 20. this game is underrated and therefore unpopular. unpopular games tend to drop in a few months. however if you have the money i suggest you go out and buy it. this game is great even for 40$

I've heard mixed reviews on this one and read them as well. I may have to give it a try. It sounds good and its Capcom. The only thing I disagree with Eugene is the costume thing. I never cared what the character wore or could get to wear. Make her naked and I'll buy it.

Hubba Hubba!

But seriously though, any slow-paced game that can get a good score from Eugene is definitely worth checking out!!!
